baba yaga (1973)


aka Baby Yaga, Devil Witch. Kiss Me, Kill Me.
"Our meeting was pre-ordained."
A young and hip photographer living life to the full in Milan, Valentina (Isabelle De Funès) has everything. Then one night she meets the fascinating and older Baba Yaga (Carroll Baker). From this moment Valentina experiences nightmares and strage events, as she falls under the spell of the mysterious Baba Yaga, with fantasy and reality twisting, seeming to intertwine...
Based on a comic strip, this is a good looking and captivating film, that moves in a deliberately sophoriphic pace. Wooden acting adds to this langurous feeling. Which you either go with it or start thinking about what's for dinner. All in all an interesting slice of eurotica.
